Undangan ke Baitullah: Pilgrims’ Stories from the Malay World to Makkah

This exhibition delves into the significance of Kampong Gelam as an important port town where Muslims from all over the Malay Archipelago would congregate to prepare for the onward steamship passage to Mākkah in the late 19th century into the early 1970s. Visitors to the gallery, which has more than 160 artefacts, can learn more about the millennia-long tradition through the personal accounts of pilgrims who made this spiritual journey.
